Nice seats! From an Astra GTE I take it 
Have you worked out how to fit them yet? The original Uno seats used an integral parallelogram frame to fit them to the floor pan runners and also bolted down at the front. You might have find another way of fitting the Recaros as the Uno seat runners aren't easy to remove.
What about the rear seats? Are you going to keep them standard or removing them entirely?
Just realised that I've never commented on your thread before - whoops! Have to say that in general your Uno is looking good, and it's nice to see one so young NOT plastering their car in Halfords crap and thinking the Storm body kit looks good yuck
Keep the changes subtle and you'll enhance the looks of the Uno. So far you're doing a good job
But saying that, I'm not so sure about the tumble drier pipe arrangement for the air intake!

yup the seats are from Astra GTE, we took off the badges so i can buy Recaro ones at a later date.
talking of halfrauds im thinking of getting a job there!
anyways, I think my dad wants to make a subframe for them out of the old one and new box section that we have.
as for the rear seats, IMO i hate them and would have them out of it and much rather box it up for storage or ICE but my ates think i should keep them in....sponging little sods!
i currently have no seat belts in the rear, another point to take into consideration for the removal
ohhh yeah about the tumble drier pipe....well i couldn't find anything else to fit over the air filter and injection so i thought i maye aswell lol
i've not seen any not Turbo induction kits..

wow, that engine looks exactly the same :|
Oh will have a look for one then thanks!
it rubs slighty on the back arches inside behind the wheel, the front rubs on full-lock so its not too bad. the shocks were banged a little to fit the 16s

thats because it is the same, its my old uno fire
glad you like it!i personally say polished is better, and it doesnt cost anything if you have a sander and dremel!
but out of the pictures you supplied the red one looks pretty rad!
you could have a theme - red silicone hoses, red strutbrace, red induction kit etc!
OP
OP
haha its looks great, see that how my i want my engine bay to look but all red
Im sticking with a red theme, not tacky stuff but interior light, boot neon, rear speakers and sub lol
How much did that cost to do all the pipe work?

about £25 got a kit from ebay, its just a cheap fake silicone hose kit but most people dont even notice lol.
you can buy a real silicone kit, bearing in mind it could cost more than the car!
